In Familiar Tales, players take on the role of one of four wizard family members who are tasked with protecting and caring for a very special child who holds the key to the fate of a distant kingdom.
The four wizards must work together and use their different talents to overcome the challenges they face, while the evil Lord Perish and his minions search the land for the missing child.
Each wizard is a playable character that comes with a detailed plastic miniature, character card, special attack card, health and power dials, a customizable skill deck, and a deck box to store everything between games.
The four sorcerers are connected to the great sorcerer Merilious. One fateful night, a mysterious visitor arrives on Merilious's doorstep with a small baby. Fearing an impending attack, the sorcerer sends the family with the baby into the forest while he confronts the attackers, giving them time to escape.
Thus begins an epic, action-packed story that spans three eras and sees the child grow from a small baby to a young adult. The loyal family members must all contribute to the girl's upbringing as best they can, as they fight to keep her from the clutches of Lord Perish.
The players must work together to guide the family members on their journeys. As they explore the countryside, they use their diary to record their adventures. The Familiar Tales app will help and tell the story, complete with music, sound effects and professional voice acting.
The story is played out page by page in a beautifully illustrated location book that functions as both a game board and a reference to the rules. The game's save system allows players to choose the length of their play sessions to suit their lifestyle. Come back later and pick up where you left off!
